About Svetlana Rezvaya

I was born a researcher who investigates human emotions in a metaphysical and abstract way. I am Svetlana Rezvaya, an artist based in Oslo, Norway. Through my art I express that which does not concern the ecology of the earth, but rather the ecology of a person. My emotionally expressive compositions are created with the acrylic technique in an abstract expressionist style.

I create themes for my creativity via concepts. In the concept "Kaleidoscope of emotions" I present abstract paintings. The concept presentation shows that, as in the optical instrument the kaleidoscope, one can observe a series of rapidly changing colour patterns on canvases. The colours and compositions change; it depends on my emotions during the painting process.

About this artwork

I painted this painting inspired by an allegorical story. Death with a scythe came to the blacksmith and asked him to sharpen the scythe. He said: “I can’t believe I’m holding a weapon in my hands that has mowed down so many people.” Death replied: “I didn’t kill anyone, not a single person! It’s you who kill each other and blame me.” “I used to be a beautiful girl. I met the souls of people and escorted them to their resting place. And today I put on black clothes so that the blood on me would not be visible. I put on a hood so that the tears that I cried would not be visible, because I cannot stop this horror of your hatred: these wars and blood. And today I am an old woman. It was you who made me like this,” said Death. She took the scythe, turned and left. And then the blacksmith quietly asked her: “Why do you need a scythe?” And she said: “The road to Paradise has long been overgrown with grass.”
